Is it possible to change the ASM policy name?

Hi,

 

I am looking for the option to change the ASM Policy name. Is there any way to change the current/running ASM policy name.

  • No, you can't change the ASM policy name in running mode. Best option is to create fresh policy on f5 and assign during non-business hour.

     

    Or, change in vi mode and re-load configuration but its not advisable.

     

    Thanks

      I think you can export the policy and perform edits on the XML file for the name. I think there are 3 different places I update the name. Then you can upload and assign to a Virtual Server. This would keep any changes you have made to the policy.

       

  • The approach I would recommend is to Export the existing ASM policy (binary export)

     

    Security ›› Application Security : Security Policies : Active Policies

     

    Select the Policy

     

    Click Export

     

    Create a new policy with the desired policy name.

     

    Then Import the exported policy file to replace the newly created policy.

     

    Security ›› Application Security : Security Policies ›› Import Security Policy

     

    You can then change any the virtual servers to refer to the new ASM policy, and finally delete the old one.
